Netflix has released the initial segment of Bridgerton Season 3, and the popular regal drama is already captivating its audience with its sensational depiction of Colin and Penelope's love story. If you have watched all the episodes until episode four, continue reading to explore the romantic finale and its implications for the future of "Polin."

The third season commences with Penelope, portrayed by Nicola Coughlan, feeling devastated as she's come back from her trip to the rural areas. She overheard Colin Bridgerton, performed by Luke Newton, proclaim that he'll never court her in the prior season. On top of that, her relationship with her closest friend, Eloise Bridgerton acted by Claudia Jessie, has been strained, ever since Eloise learnt Penelope's hidden identity as Lady Whistledown in the previous season.

As Eloise starts an unlikely bond with the haughty Cressida Cowper (Jessica Madsen), Penelope declares that she's prepared to seek a spouse. This is due, in part, to her desire to break free from her domineering mother, her nonsensical siblings, and their romantic partners, who are busy trying to produce a male descendant to inherit the Featherington land. Above all, Pen wants a person who can aid her in maintaining her dual identity as Lady Whistledown.

In the third episode of Bridgerton, Luke Newton is seen portraying the character of Colin Bridgerton.

In the meantime, Colin is back from his adventures overseas, appearing even more stylish and charming than before. Penelope and the other young women who are making their debut take note of his impressive transformation, but Penelope keeps her distance, still feeling wounded by the hurtful remarks he made about her in the past.

Colin finally talks to Pen about their friendship, and she tells him why she has been keeping her distance. To make things better, Colin suggests that he assist Penelope in finding a suitable husband during this season, and she accepts the proposal. He teaches her discreetly, but the news of his help spreads when Eloise discovers and informs Cressida. This causes Penelope, also known as Lady Whistledown, to write about the scandal to prevent any doubts.

The publication Forbes has shared information on the premiere schedule for the third season of the popular show "Bridgerton" on Netflix. Fans who are eagerly anticipating the release of the next chapter can now find out exactly when it will be available to stream.

Penelope's efforts to win Colin's affections have been rewarded as she has attracted the attention of Lord Debling. He is a wealthy naturalist who has a passion for animals and vegetables. Lord Debling is impressed by Penelope's sincere character and truthfulness. They both want a trustworthy and stable relationship, but their connection is not based on genuine love.

Colin's attempt to assist Penelope in finding a spouse goes wrong when he starts having romantic feelings for her. He realizes this after engaging in a chaste kiss with her in the garden, where she asked if he could help her have her first kiss. Colin starts having romantic fantasies about Penelope and becomes envious of Debling when he sees him pursuing her.

Colin found out about Debling's intention to propose, so he went to the ball and disrupted their dance. He warned Penelope that Debling wasn't suitable for her and it would be a mistake. Debling realized something was amiss when he noticed their argument. Cressida, who was interested in Debling, confirmed his doubts about Penelope and Colin's relationship.

However, Colin chases after her, manages to catch up, and forcefully enters the carriage. It's from this point onward that things start to get steamy between the two.

Colin could no longer hold back his feelings and spoke from his heart to Penelope, conveying his passion through a powerful speech. He revealed that their first kiss had left him utterly consumed, with feelings so strong they were almost unbearable.
